0:03
I I'll take this then um yeah I saw
0:05
Anora last night and I think my review
0:07
is more about the experience I had
0:09
watching North and about the movie
0:11
itself um Thursday night is the night I
0:14
go out see movies there in theaters uh
0:17
my wife as you know she's been ill but
0:19
she had enough strength to go out and
0:21
see a movie with me and so I was like
0:22
okay I'll take you so so it's like what
0:24
movie are you seeing I say I'm gonna see
0:26
an nor she goes what's it about I go
0:28
it's about a sex worker you're not gonna
0:30
and uh she goes I don't care I'm just
0:32
coming out to see a movie with you and I
0:33
go fine um and so so basically I warned
0:38
her let's just say I warned her so we go
0:40
in I know nothing of the movie the movie
0:42
starts and uh the opening sequence is a
0:46
strip club with uh with at least half a
0:49
dozen strippers topless strippers uh
0:52
giving lap dances and uh let's just say
0:55
that uh nudity and sex in movie in films
0:58
do not stand out the most unless you're
1:00
sitting next to your wife while watching
1:03
it and I looked at her and I just said
1:06
um you asked for this you know you you
1:08
knew this was gonna happen and Not only
1:10
was the opening scene just a bunch of
1:12
topless women giving lab dances but
1:14
there was there's there's a lot of
1:16
nudity in this and uh and of course my
1:18
wife is sitting next to me and uh a lot
1:21
of sex in it yes uh my wife is sitting
1:23
next to me and uh and at the end of the
1:26
movie we just kind of turned to each
1:28
other and said uh kind of like this
1:30
movie and uh so I really like this movie
1:34
and weirdly enough my wife really liked
1:36
this movie and I I'll tell you I I think
1:42
um nudity and boobs are great but this
1:46
story really is about this girl Anora
1:48
this young woman Anora uh and the fact
1:51
that she has to fight uh her entire life
1:55
in this movie she is in this constant
1:57
state of fighting uh with g she's given
2:00
brief moments of of pleasure um but it's
2:04
it's her life is a fight and the movie
2:07
kind of builds upon that just builds and
2:10
builds and builds upon that to a point
2:12
of catharsis and with like a lot of sha
2:14
Baker movies especially with uh with a
2:17
Florida project you know it's this it's
2:19
this simple ending that just pays off
2:23
everything you saw uh leading up to it
2:26
uh and you know it's it's just a really
2:28
interesting story and and here's one
2:30
moment and again I can't spoil it but um
2:34
there's a moment in this movie where the
2:37
film stands up for men in this world of
2:41
masculinity and for me that was the most
2:44
refreshing scene uh I've seen a long
2:46
time it's like yes thank you for
2:48
speaking for the majority of men uh in
2:51
in the world and um so I I do love this
2:55
character study I I love the the story
2:58
it play how it plays out The Twist the
3:00
the turn the massive turn it takes into
3:02
the second half uh and then the the
3:05
third act uh it is just a well done told
3:09
story uh if you you know let's just see
3:12
let's just say my wife was not as uh uh
3:15
thrown back by all the nudity and sex so
3:17
you know maybe you can bring your wife
3:19
to it I wouldn't necess call it a date
3:20
movie but for me it was a date movie uh
3:23
so yeah Ma big recommendation for me for
3:26
Anora I I'm surprised to hear that but
3:29
I'm also surprised to hear that your
3:31
wife liked the film I mean there is some
3:33
graphic nudity and sex but I'll say this
3:37
there's heart to it like Anora herself
3:40
you see how much she has to fight just
3:42
to survive as you said and in the middle
3:45
of the movie she's like she's in love
3:48
like she's it's it starts out as a
3:51
transactional relationship that turns it
3:54
into real affection and then goes ay and
3:57
that's all you buy into that love you
4:00
buy into the fact that that these two
4:02
people love each other and again just a
4:05
storytelling yeah so God I'm glad that
4:08
you liked it I did not expect that Alan
4:11
yeah I'm surprised my wife liked it
